This is my first Agents of SHIELD story, so please be kind. This is AU with influences from the show. I haven't written anymore of the story so let me know if you want me to continue it. Constructive criticism is alway welcomed.

Ten Years Ago

Kenzie Sanders and her sister, Taylor, are on a walk with there dog, Trevor, when it happens. They are almost done with their walk at a near by park when five men jump out of the bushes and attack them. Trevor attacks the first one he see's trying to protect the girls and Taylor starts to run towards the car. She turns around when she notices that Kenzie isn't following her.

When she turns around, Kenzie is fighting the men. Three of the five are already down and a fourth follows quickly. Trevor runs towards Taylor, knowing his work is done, and she calls 911. Just as she finishes explaining the situation to the operator, Kenzie throws a round house kick that knocks the final attacker to the ground.

The police arrive five minutes later, shocked to see Kenzie standing around the attackers that lay on the ground. An hour later, the police are finishing up interviewing the girls when a black SUV pulls up. A man steps out of the car and approaches the nearest officer, talking quickly and quietly the officer points him to Kenzie.

"Hello, my name is Agent Phil Coulson I'm with the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Division." He introduces.

"Okay?" Kenzie says slightly confused.

"I'm here to offer you a job" he states.

"No thanks" Kenzie replies before walking away.

"I don't think you understand what I'm asking" he follows.

"I've never heard of your agency, which means you're either trying to trick me or you're in a very secretive business. Both of which I want no part of" she says turning around to face him.

"You're right, we deal in secrets but it is in the interest of protection" he explains further.

"In two weeks I leave for NYU then I'm going to apply to the NYPD. I can protect enough people in my chosen profession, I don't need to join some secretive organization" she says before walking away and this time he doesn't follow her.

Present

Skye walks into Coulsons' office, "I've got a lead on Ward"

"Where?" Coulson asks.

"I found an old acquaintance of his, Patrick Keller. He lives in New York with his wife Kenzie. He and Ward were in the same academy class, only Patrick flunked out and went into the private sector. They kept in touch and when Hydra came out Patrick contacted Garett. I've been looking through the Keller's phone records and they received a call from a burner cell two hours after Ward escaped" Skye tells.

"What's the wife's maiden name?" Coulson asks.

"Why?" she asks confused.

"Because I want to know" Coulson demands.

"Sanders" Skye reveals.

"Should I get the team together? Or do you want to contact the senator?" Skye asks.

"Neither, I have a third option" he says before leaving his office to find May.
